Welcome to Trsst: An Open and Secure Alternative to Twitter

Post your thoughts, share links, and follow other interesting people or web sites, using the web or your mobile or any software of your choice.  

All of your private posts to individuals or friends and family are securely encrypted so that even your hosting provider - or government - can't unlock them.
All of your public posts are digitally signed so you can prove that no one - and no government - modified or censored your writings.
You control your identity and your posts and can move them to another site or hosting provider at any time. 
Think of Trsst as an RSS reader (and writer) that works like Twitter but built for the open web.  The public stuff stays public and search-indexable, and the private stuff is encrypted and secured.  Only you will hold your keys, so your hosting provider can't sell you out.
